American entertainment consisting of comic skits, variety acts, dancing, and music, performed by white people in blackface or, especially after the Civil War, black people in blackface. Blackface branched off from the minstrel show.

-In 1848, blackface minstrel shows were the national art of the time,

-It survived as professional entertainment until about 1910;

The typical minstrel performance followed a three-act structure. The

troupe first danced onto stage then exchanged wisecracks and sang

songs. The second part featured a variety of entertainments, including

the pun-filled stump speech. The final act consisted of a slapstick musical plantation skit or a send-up of a popular play. Minstrel songs and sketches featured several stock characters, most popularly the slave and the dandy. These were further divided into sub-archetypes such as the mammy, her counterpart the old darky, the provocative mulatto

wench, and the black soldier. Minstrels claimed that their songs and

dances were authentically black, although the extent of the black

influence remains debated. Spirituals (known as jubilees) entered the repertoire in the 1870s, marking the first undeniably black music to be used in minstrelsy.
